[QUOTE="Kash, post: 359339, member: 23444"] Batteries work via a chemical reaction. As we all know, chemical reactions result in two things: energy and chemical by-products. Now, since we have yet to create a means of getting power that is 100% efficient, some of that energy will be in the form of heat. Now, this heat has to go somewhere. If it stays in the battery, then the battery won't be lasting very long as the heat will build up to the point where it'll melt the battery's components. So the heat is dissipated out to the surrounding air and to whatever it is in contact with, which in this case would be the laptop. So if you remove the battery, the heat isn't being transferred to the case, and yep, you guessed right, the temperature of the case goes down. Just like magic eh? ;) [/QUOTE]
